oddly enough this article is actually about my high school i will preface this by saying that i dont actually have any strong feelings about this one way or the other first some misconceptions the book wasnt banned per se just removed from the curriculum its still allowed on campus and still in the library second the general argument for replacing it in the curriculum was the one black kid in the class shouldnt have to sit there while a room full of wealthy white kids read the word nigger out loud and then the class discusses it personally im definitely against pc culture and censorship but im also pro common decency so ツ
